Did you know?

Kuala Lumpur International Airport is Malaysia's largest airport and is located approximately 45 km south of the capital. It opened in 1998 and is considered one of the most modern airports in Southeast Asia. The airport is divided into two terminals – KLIA and KLIA2. KLIA2 was specifically built for budget airlines and is the world's largest terminal for low-cost carriers. The airport is known for its tropical indoor courtyards with plenty of greenery and its excellent connectivity via the KLIA Express train, which takes travellers to Kuala Lumpur city centre in just 28 minutes.

Places of interest

The impressive Petronas Twin Towers dominate the Kuala Lumpur skyline and are among the city's most famous landmarks, offering spectacular views from the Skybridge. A cultural highlight are the nearby Batu Caves, colourful Hindu temples nestled within impressive limestone caves.

Merdeka Square, surrounded by colonial architecture, was once where Malaysia's independence was declared – a place of historical significance. The modern KL Tower offers sweeping city views from its observation deck and revolving restaurant.

The Central Market combines a vibrant atmosphere with art, souvenirs, and Malaysian cuisine – ideal for an authentic glimpse into local life.

Useless knowledge

• The muezzin calls to prayer, while next door someone deep-fries 300kg of chicken and simultaneously a shopping centre plays «All I Want for Christmas». Sonically, KL is like Spotify on shuffle, but it works.
• In Chinatown, you can find anything, even things you didn't know you needed, like a „real“ Rolex for the price of a sandwich.
• In Kuala Lumpur it rains so often that the locals tend to view the rain more as a „daily shower“.
• The Petronas Towers are so tall you'll get neck ache if you look at them for too long.
